Sinister Situation as Grave Robber arrives at The York Dungeon

This February half term, starting on 14^th and ending on 22^nd, The York Dungeon opens its doors for a fun-filled week of darkness, twists and turns for its fearless visitors.

Ensuring plenty of mayhem and hair-raising scares, an unruly pair of Grave Robbers will be taking up residence at the attraction. The gruesome grave robbers will take over the Dungeon, so prepare yourself for jump-through-the-roof scares, as you search for corpses to sell for anatomical research.

A sinister Grave Robber will welcome visitors when they first enter the Dungeon, as he prepares for the hanging of the legendary Dick Turpin. Visitors will be warned to be on their guard as they edge their way through the darkness and tombstones of the murky St George’s Cemetery.

Visitors will then get to experience the brand new Grave Robber Show, where the mischievous characters are eyeing up everyone as a potential sale… They need bodies to sell and don’t mind how they get them!

Guests are sure to receive a fright during this interactive experience, telling a scary, funny and gripping story – you have been warned. Featuring an amazing cast of theatrical actors and brilliant special effects, this exciting adventure promises fun and frights in equal measures.

Helen Douglas, General Manager at the York Dungeon, said: “We are very excited about the introduction of the brand new characters and new Grave Robber show that will undoubtedly bring a darker, edgier feel to the Dungeon this half term.”

Continuing with, “The interactive show, which is based on York’s very real history, will enable people to step back in time to a gruesome era and enjoy an informative experience that is guaranteed to impress and entertain.”

And because it’s half-term, guests can expect even darker, scarier and more twisted behaviour from the cast of history’s most notorious characters. From Guy Fawkes to Henry VIII, guests who visits The York Dungeon will meet a variety of familiar faces as they journey through 13 shows that are profiled at the popular attraction this half term.
